Golds/Yellows offspring?

[ericatdallas]

Does anyone know what the offspring of Golds/Yellows being sold look like? I was thinking of buying a few and although I have no plans to breed yet, I would like to one day.

I have been looking for high quality yellow breeding stock for about 20 years...In that time I have found 1......

Good luck.

I am growing out some MG and they are turning orange as each day pass. It would be interesting to see what they will end up with 9 months from. I will try to breed them regardless.

Hey Van, hows it going ? We have two pairs of Yellow Whites from Kenny that spawn regularly. From what I have seen of the fry since they dont stick around to long here, they seem to keep their yellow coloring unless they are fed tetra bits or other foods with a high red content. Since they are gold based, peppering is eliminated. I feed them mostly Sera blue pellets and Al's freeze dried blackworms. Occasionally some veggie flake and ON marine pellets.

Hey Bob,

Things are going pretty well here...just been busy going on the "wild" side. I have never tried the Sera stuff (maybe I should give it a try). I am using the Angelplus growth and liver flakes on these juvies. I was using CBW as their primary diet for a while and recently switched to Al's FDB. They love Hans hamburger mix but I tried not to feed them that.

As you can see from this link, it was ridiculous how yellow they were to begin with. http://forum.simplydiscus.com/showthread.php?85506-Millennium-Gold I kinda knew they were going to change but I am beginning to see a few with little black on the fin's edge so I am beginning to doubt that it's golden based.

Thanks for your input.

Hey Bob,

There is some pigeon blood in the Ogon yellows whites, not so sure about being golden based.

Dont quote me on this but i believe that while speaking with Kenny, we were told there was no pigeon in them which I had to believe since lots and lots of fry have been produced by our pairs and not a single one had any peppering.

How does the spawn from the pair you got from Mike Beals look? I was thinking of ordering whatever yellow/gold strain he has for his next shipment. I've been looking at getting some for months now but I haven't had the room or time. Might jump on it for his next shipment...

How about some updated pics on what they look like now. I was looking into buying some yellows myself.

The Albino Gold Milleniums from Mike Beals are outstanding and yellow as can be. They are spawning regularly and have produced wigglers although the male is learning as he goes and gets a bit better with every spawn.

I dont have any pics of the fry as they all get sold but below is a pic of one of the male Ogon Yellows from Kennyand below that is the Albino Millenium Gold from Mike Beals. The albino photographs well, displaying its true colors although the OYW's coloring gets washed out in the photograph.

Wow, so you're saying Mike Beals (...and Jeffrey Yang) are selling Yellows that stay that way? Nice! :)

Though the Ogon actually still looks great. I would buy it even at that color.

[wendy9722]

They look really good!!!

Another option is the Albino Pearl Diamond from Kenny.

I got a Golden Crystal from Kenny 2 months ago. Very nice choice too. I picked up a Dickson Gold but he's only a few months old and the color has not fully developed.
